I Did It!

My goal was to make $100 extra dollars this month and I did. I sold 4 books on amzon! They were books that my husband and I had from classes we had taken! Whew!

Let It Snow!!!!


Well, we got some snow finally! We had about 3 inches this morning at around 3am but buy 9am it was only an inch due to rain! I love to look at snow but could care less about freezing out there! The kids and hubby on the other hand can't get enough of it. They were out in it at 9am and it is 3 pm and they are still out there only breaking for lunch! I can remember going out in the snow with about 5 pairs of socks on each hand for mittens and 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts and a coat. It didn't matter how many layers I put on my fingers became numb and my toes too! So I gladly passed that tradition on to the kids! I did get them a good pair of gloves though that are water proof. It does no good though when the snow gets in the glove! The last snow we got hubby kept going outside and hosing down the driveway. Yep you heard me right hosing down the driveway. When approached with this he simply said " just picture the fun I am going to have on this thing" Sure enough the four wheeler slid all over the place with kids hanging on for dear life smiling the whole time. The funny thing is when I look at the house and say just picture it when we get this or that done hubby can't for the life of him see what I see. I guess he can't get past the long honey do list to envision anything! I know it has been a long time since I blogged, but thanks to the nagging of my mom and step dad I will try to be more faithful! This year we have decided to be FRUGAL! I hope to spend less and save more this year. The kids are even a part of this. Currently there is a list on my fridge that has 10 ways we can save money! Joseph and I have a list to but it entails mainly finances. We will see how this goes.
